  1. Re:Defensive driving on VW Beetle Fitted with a Jet Engine · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those mirrors on your car are for looking behind you.

  2. Re:I'm not sure it's that easy. on Gadgets for the Lazy · · Score: 1

    Mine didn't take pictures, or laugh very much now that I think about it. I think we were their last or second to last division before they rotated back to the fleet and it had lost some of its novelty. I thought it was pretty funny though, prior to that I didn't know you could produce snot at that rate.

    When was that? When I went through in January of '99 they called it the Gas Chamber.

  4. G4 used o be great on G4 Moves Further From Technology Roots · · Score: 1

    A few years ago when I first came across G4 it was really fun. It was all about games and all the shows had a real "we love games" kind of attitude. There was also some pretty good unintentional comedy (Starcade, although I would occasionally find myself getting into the competition on that show). But then when they bought tech tv they ruined both channels. Now there's almost nothing about games and evn when they do talk about them they almost exclusively talk shit. If I love games why would I want to watch a couple of smarmy assholes talk shit about them? Even when they give a game a good review they still make stupid little sarcastic jokes. Oh and Morgan Webb is not sexy, if you think she's hot you need to go outside and look around.

  5. Re:Revolutionary Dream on History of Motion Detection in Gaming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those don't use motion detection. They're just standard buttons and switches used in new ways.

  6. Re:It makes them... on Closet Slashdotters: The 'Intellectually Curious' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not so much any one of those things but rather some combination.

  7. Re:Traditional Hearing Aids on Improve Your Hearing With Vision · · Score: 1
    What about a young hearing-impaired person who does not need glasses?

    You just use glass blanks that don't refract the image. I think that if I was hearing impaired and I had the choice between sticking something in my ear all the time that didn't work very well and wearing a pair of glasses that didn't do anything optically but made my hearing more normal I'd go with the glasses.

  8. I'm hatching plans on Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? · · Score: 1

    I live near there. I think I might take my friends boat up to Lake Washington and see if I can moon the president of China.

  9. Re:A problem of audience. on Microsoft's Security Disclosures Come Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Can you tell me what it's like not having a sence of humor? Or is it like being born blind? Like you don't realise you're missing something.

  10. Re:A problem of audience. on Microsoft's Security Disclosures Come Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Anyone who brags about getting laid isn't ;-)

  11. Re:Chemical Reaction? on Fuel Cell Powered Japanese Trains on Trial in July · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think you should expect to be modded down for asking a reasonable and well thought-out question. Isn't that the whole point of having a discussion?

  12. Re:What software amazes me? on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1
    There are several million computer users in the united states alone. I'm sure you know that on an intelectual level but millions are really hard numbers to wrap your mind around. And every one of those users has had a different history with computers that you and the poeple you know. When you think of it like that it's very possible that there are many people who have lots of computer experience but who have little or no knowledge of Windows.

    You should get a statistics book and look up the term "outlier."

  13. Re:Tough decisions on Spirit Rover Reaches Safety · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What the hell man? The thing is still working well like 2 years after its original projected mission date. Who cares if the wheel is free rolling or dragging? It still works so it doesnt fucking matter.

  14. Re:Here we go again on Buy PC Without an OS... Get a Visit From MSFT? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check out http://avadirect.com/. They sell OS-free laptops and desktops. I've never actually bought from them but I've heard from the grapevine that they're reputable.

  15. Re:nonsense.. on Increased Bandwidth Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    Rubbing alchhol is actually better than the bottle of wine. Drinking it will make you blind and them you won't need to go to the movies or press on your eyeball.

  16. Re:more effective monitoring of United States on Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S. · · Score: 1

    frested = fresh + rested

  17. Get some real advice on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    If you really wanna help this guy you should consult a therapist or a 12-step group. Not a website that bills itself as "News for nerds".

  18. Re:My Question Is... on Holographic Storage Crams in 0.5TB Per Square Inch · · Score: 3, Funny

    The RIAA would sue us. And also you are a huge dork.

  19. Oh yeah it's really great on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    I just installed it and it deleted all my themes.Death.

  20. ipodder on Good Podcasts and Podcatchers? · · Score: 1

    You don't mention your OS and I'm not sure if it's cross platform or not but on linux ipodder works great. And for debian and ubuntu it's in the reps.

  21. Re:Fat Tire on Green Geek Beer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why the southern midwest? I live in Tacoma Washington and the Fat Tire flows like water around here.

  22. Re:stuff to ask on Handling a Cross Country Move? · · Score: 1

    You'll mind when you get an eyefull of real estate prices in Berkeley.

  23. Re:Fallacy on RFID, Sign of the (End) Times? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not really sure. How long has there been religious conviction?

  24. Re:New to Ubuntu on Linspire CEO Considers CNR for Ubuntu · · Score: 4, Informative

    For things like the newest firefox and JDK. As well as some handy non-free stuff you need Automatix. It's easy to install and will let you choose several non-.deb apps from a simple list. Just search the Ubuntu forums for mor info.

  25. Re:The leap from marmoset to man on Stress Inhibits Brain's Ability to Grow · · Score: 1

    Maybe the marmosets were so free from stress that they developed human-sized brains.
